Certainly.  However, you will need to teach the player to understand and
use these tags.  Unless many people will want this you probably won't
manage to standardize it...

If you are going seriously into non-destructive operations on tracks, the
vorbis comment system won't be the way to go.  One could define a
universal format for describing operation on sound(s), create a program
for conveninetly manipulating it and embed that format together with
needed tracks in an Ogg file.  That would give somthing like
http://www.goldwave.com/multiquence/ but in an Ogg container...  (BTW,
it's author already supports vorbis in GoldWave, you can ask him to add
support in Multiquence...)  Or maybe just holding the tracks in external
files is better...
